theorising by armchair experts arent always accurate?

That sounds more confrontational than I meant it to, point if you just guess at improvements without testing them, it is still a guess.

I'm not sure Ryan Dahl should be considered an armchair expert with respect to Node.js.

as I edited that sounded more confrontational than I meant :) and I wasnt aiming it at ryan dahl (there was a lot of commentators in that thread).

I just meant that without the numbers its an guess, educated are otherwise, and we all know how many assumptions we make that end up being wrong when they are implemented.
